vi GOOD HEALTH 



Other subjects in the books are treated with similar 

 thoroughness. In fact the reference lists given with each 

 volume, although representing the best available material 

 for the use of teachers, gives but part of that which was 

 actually used in the preparation of the books themselves. 



During the past few years important contributions 

 have been made to the fund of material bearing upon the 

 effects of the use of alcohol. These contributions have 

 come partly from scientific work in America, England, 

 and Germany, partly from recent careful investigations 

 concerning the interrelations of drink with crime and 

 pauperism, and partly from practical anti-alcohol require- 

 ments on the part of large business corporations. The 

 facts so contributed, together with those more generally 

 known, furnish a story of such exceptional vividness and 

 power that, in regard to scientific instruction on the sub- 

 jects of alcohol and narcotics, we cannot but be faithful 

 to the demands of school law in the various states.
